the FAO estimates that retaining the original operators would have cost the Province a total of $10.9 million. Compared to Scenario A, the $11.7 million cost of the Staples Canada agreement results in an additional cost of $0.8 million. In contrast, the Province estimated net savings from the Staples Canada agreement of $0.9 million, largely due to a lower estimated cost for the Staples Canada agreement.

?? I love paying for people to store their (one very specific property) for free.

Just shrink the road.

So we agree there are candidates, we just need to negotiate on where the line is.

No, flamingos did not come first.

Star wars happened a long long time ago.

That’s what they’ve done with E-bikes. Bill 197 paved the way for them to all be reclassed as mopeds.

I was expecting the 22 minutes clip.

Minority government led by the ONDP is my best case Ontario.

I would like that. Works well in Québec.

Neat. I feel like it removes some of the magic from decorating houses, but having never seen one it’s an unvalidated guess.

Not sure how the accessibility is any different, but my neighborhood tends to be a drop in location for most the city, so we’re just kind of expected to met kids where they’re at. Maybe we’re just used to it?

What is a trunk-or-treat?

Fair enough, my Canadian bias snuck in there.

Seems strange to me, but you do you!

Wouldn’t you be common-law after 35 years?

Are you Chuck Mahon?

If not, it’s great to see his affect on USA traffic engineering

I wore my councilor an email saying: hey maybe our city should speak out about this bullshit, Guelph is writting a letter, we could do that?

He got me back with: we’re workshopping it; but letters are a bad idea, they piss of this government and then you just end up with random retribution.

So those are the clowns we have running the province.

I wonder if you could improve that system by creating localised star sector governments, and divesting the currently centralized power to them?

Sarkaria added that he frequently hears from drivers who say their commute times have increased on routes with bike lanes.

Time to call the constituency office for Brampton South and the Ministry office to counter the driver’s calls.

Brampton South constituency office is: 905-796-8669

For all Ontarians (or people who sometimes travel in Ontario) the ministry office is: 416-327-9200

Specific to the USA “70-78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck” source

Yeah, as other’s have pointed out, I’m really underestimating the issues of the electoral college in the USA.

While I’m used to the issues of FPTP, I can’t pretend to understand the basic premise behind the electoral college.

Independents can get elected and new parties can arrise in FPTP, despite being more difficult than some other systems; so my guess is that I’m wildly underestimatong the fuckery that is the electoral college.
